With a spare few hours and no MOJO I sat in my craft room staring into space! After a while I decided that it was no good and I really needed to do something so I grabbed the nearest set of stamps and made a start!

Luckily the stamps I grabbed were in my Wendy Vecchi's studio 490 binder. Those of you that are familiar with this particular range will know that they come with the most fabulous inspiration provided by Wendy herself ... so I did n't actually need any MOJO ... just some grunge paper, distress inks and a few of Tim's idea-ology bits!

Did I mention the empty bean tin?

I have made a few of these tins and to my dismay find that after a while the glue [whichever one I use] starts to give and the edges of the paper tend to fray up ... so this time I have left nothing to chance and I well and truly stitched it up using my trusty Cropadile and some 7 gypsies waxed cotton.

All I need to do now is fill it with pens ... a few hours well spent me thinks!

O M G!!! this is simply stunning Linda....oh I have missed your Blog posts and it is fab to see you back crafting again...more please!! I see you are another addict to the Studio 490 stamps....you are in good company...lotsa love hun xx
